Selected autoantibodies and normal-tension glaucoma [PDF]

Medical Science Monitor, 2014
Although intraocular pressure is an important risk factor in glaucoma, there is growing body evidence indicating an immunological component in the pathogenesis of normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). The aim of this study was to determine if NTG coexists with elevated levels of autoantibodies detected in rheumatic diseases.We enrolled 105 patients into the ...

Risk Factors Associated with Structural Progression in Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Intraocular Pressure, Systemic Blood Pressure, and Myopia

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2020
Purpose To determine risk factors associated with structural progression in medically treated normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Methods This retrospective cohort study included 166 NTG patients (average age, 56.5 years; average mean deviation, −4.2 dB). The

Second-Generation Trabecular Micro-Bypass (iStent inject) with Cataract Surgery in Eyes with Normal-Tension Glaucoma: One-Year Outcomes of a Multi-Centre Study

Ophthalmology and Therapy, 2020
The efficacy and safety of the trabecular micro-bypass stents (iStent and iStent inject) have been well documented in various open-angle glaucoma subtypes. However, their outcomes remain understudied in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).

Normal tension glaucoma---a practical approach [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1998
Normal tension glaucoma (NTG) remains a difficult diagnosis for the ophthalmologist who favours the argument that raised intraocular pressure (IOP) is essential for the diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The concept of NTG challenges us to distinguish between pressure dependent and pressure independent causal factors.

Suppression of Oxidative Stress as Potential Therapeutic Approach for Normal Tension Glaucoma

Antioxidants, 2020
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease of the eye, which involves degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs): the output neurons of the retina to the brain, which with their axons comprise the optic nerve.

Familial thrombophilia and normal tension glaucoma [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2001
Editor,—The aetiology of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is still debatable. Abnormal blood flow, systemic hypotension, abnormal blood coagulability, and other factors associated with cerebrovascular disease may have a causative role in NTG.A study was designed to look at the prevalence of familial thrombophilia in cases of NTG. ### CASE REPORT Seventy
